1 Recycling of nutrient solution in closed soilless culture systems
2 Recycling concepts Continuous recirculation Capture and recycling of fertigation effluents (drainage solution)
3 Schematic representation of a hydroponic system involving continuous recirculation
4 Schematic representation of a closed hydroponic system with intermittent nutrient solution supply Pots with plants
5 Difficulties related to nutrient solution recycling Recycling of the nutrient solution may result in recycling of pathogens The composition of the nutrient solution changes as it passes through the root environment and thus the nutrient concentrations in the drainage solution are not similar with those in the solution supplied to the crop.

8 A synopsis of methods used to disinfect the drainage solution prior to recycling in closed hydroponic systems No Disinfection method Application details 1 Pasteurization 95 ο C for o C for 3 min (Fusarium, ToMV) 2 UV radiation nm, 250 mj/cm 2 3 Slow sand filtration Filtration rate: m/h. Size of sand particles: mm 4 Micro-membrane filtration Removal of Fusarium oxysporum: Pore size 0.05 μm. 5 Ozonation (Ο 3 ) 10 ppm for 1 h (Redox potential 754 mv) 6 Active hydrogen peroxide Killing of Fusarium oxysporum: ppm for 5 min. Killing of viruses: (TMV: 400 ppm) 7 Iodine application Killing of Fusarium oxysporum: 0.7 ppm
9 Methods of drainage solution disinfection
10 Pasteurization using heating Advantages Disadvantages Full efficacy for all relevant pathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses). Relatively simple technology. No phytotoxicity problems. During the winter, it can be supported by the central heating system of the greenhouse. High cost is required to achieve the proper temperature level for disinfection.
11 Schematic representation of a pasteurization device
12 Disinfection by means of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation UVc ( nm) is required. Microbicidal activity is restricted at nm, with an optimum at about 260 nm. UVc-irradiation inactivates pathogens by a photochemical reaction that mainly affects nucleic acids, which absorb strongly at or close to 260 nm.
13 UV-disinfection equipment
14 Disinfection using UV irradiation A coarse sand ( mm) filter is required before the UV radiation filter to retain organic compounds and other suspending material. The lethal doses for fungi, including Fusarium oxysporum, and for viruses are 100 and 250 mj/m -2, respectively. Mercury vapour (MV) lamps are efficient sources of UVc radiation for NS disinfection. Low pressure (MV) lamps are preferable due to their higher energy utilization efficiency (0.4) compared to high pressure MV lamps (0.1).
15 Disinfection by means of ultraviolet radiation Advantages If the radiation dose is sufficient, the UV-filters kill all pathogens Disadvantages Fe chelates may be oxidized and can, thus not be recycled. Precipitation of minerals on the surface of the quartz glass tube may reduce their transmission ability. The functional cost of UV filters is considerable. The UV lamps have a relatively limited lifetime.
16 Slow sand filtration
17 Sand filter Upper surface of a sand filter Side overview of a sand filter
18 Technical specifications of sand filters A sand filter consists of 2-3 lower layers for drainage and a main sand layer. Height of sand layer: > 80 cm Height of drainage layers: cm Particle size of sand:: 0,2-0,6 mm Particle size of drainage aggregates: a) Higher: 2-7 mm b) Intermediate: 7-17 mm c) Lower: mm
19 Technical specifications of sand filters: Characteristics of particle size distribution Effective size (ES ή D 10 ): mm Uniformity coefficient (UC: D 60 /D 10 ): >3 (acceptable), >2 (desired). Level of water above the surface of the filter: cm. Desired flow rate through the filter: m/h.
20 Schematic representation of a sand filter
21 Slow sand filtration Advantages It is a relatively simple technology. The problems that may arise during use of a sand filter are simple and occur not frequently Low maintenance cost. It is mainly based on the microflora established in it and is, therefore, the most environment friendly method of removing possible pathogens from the drainage solution to be recycled. The filtered drainage solution becomes clear and free from suspended material. Disadvantages Its efficacy against Fusarium and some other phytopathogenic Fungi is not always guarantied. ΔIt is not possible to use any type of sand. A sand filter requires a relatively large area to be established.
22 Methods of replenishing the drainage solution with nutrients and water prior to recycling Replenishment according to the estimated uptake concentrations or uptake ratios (estimated nutrient/water uptake ratios) Replenishment according to a target composition of the nutrient solution supplied to the crop
23 Recommended EC (ds m -1 ), ph and nutrient concentrations (mmol L -1 ) in nutrient solutions (NS) for soilless tomato crops grown under Mediterranean climatic conditions.

30 Na and Cl accumulation in closed soilless culture systems Na and Cl accumulation is a problem if the concentrations of these ions in the irrigation water is not very low
